So if there are any FOX News fans left on the forums, lets see how "Fair and Balanced" you think they are now.  Thats just shitty ass journalism on FOX News' part.  Good on the reporters, it's takes balls to stand up to not one, but TWO large corporations.

And like all little man vs. big man fights in the world today, the big man won.  surprise surprise.

Discuss.

Monsanto Inc. is a pretty vile company. Back when they used to be in the chemical/synthetics business, they so thoroughly contaminated the groundwater of a town that one of their plants was based in that test fish placed in a local stream looked like they'd been boiled within minutes of being immersed in the water.

Interesting video...

Some observations:

1. big corporations can and do influence the big networks by threatening to cut their income from advertising, which makes these networks not so 'fair and balanced' any more;

2. food in the US is genetically manipulated, altered or plainly poisoned, and no one seems to care about;

3. after reading the limited amount of replies by conservative members I conclude it's not a big deal for them (where is us marine when you need him);

4. in say 25 years from now, a lot of Americans will have cancer.

I made it throught almost 6 minutes. You do realize that you put up a video about shoddy journalism that is, in itself, shoddy journalism. There are no citations, no data offered up as proof of what the folks on the video were saying. It's just more statement of opinion.

I dunno. I don't watch fox news. To be fair though, I don't watch CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, or any other alphabet news program. I read, and listen to NPR in my car.

Hell, you want to know how one of the "left-wing" networks goes about its business? Read some of the works of Jon Stossel. They're just as guilty and culpable as Fox News. Hell, Dan Rather and CBS news made shit up and put it on the air. I don't see anyone crowing for them being tossed off the air.


The real point is that Edward R Murrow would take the heads of every network today out back and shoot them all. Every one. That man read the news. He reported honestly, fairly, and without regard to who he would piss off by reporting it.

There's no network thats more guilty than the others. They are all equally bad.

Everything fox says is true!!! Its a left wing conspiracy to tar the excellent work done by the fox news team. I'm with the Republicans on this one................Bah!!!

Murdoch is a lovely man who has absolutely no political aspirations. Hell he doesn't even vote he cares so little. He also doesn't give a dam if his News Agency gets no Advertising revenue from big cooperation's because he has devised a way to make money from thin air..................../ sarcasm

They are all the same. That's why I use the Publicly funded advert free BBC for my news reporting.

and people say drink plenty of milk, yeesh.  This is just more proof that the politicians in this country are so obsessed with their own ascension that they will screw over the entire nation if it helps them.

Give me a fucking break, MSNBC is easily the most extremely biased new channel in the country, if not the world. While I dont like Fox much, I always try to get my news from more then one source.

Thats my opinion of FOX news. They tout the far right wing line, everyone knows it except its viewers. Wierd.

I am still trying to form an opinion. I'm just to pissed right now. Admitdily, I am a FOX news watcher, along with all of the other sources I get sensationalized news from. I hope to find out more about this!

Sure, FOX fabricated a news story, just like all the others have done. Hell, even newspapers are doing it. In one part of the video, yes I watched the whole thing, when they are listing those agencies that supported fox news in court, they showed that Gannette was one of the supporters. Gannette is a liberal, for lack of a better term, paper. Now why would a bunch of liberal news agencies support Fox, a so called Conservative news agency, in trying to cover up what the hormones can cause?? Someone answer that one for me.

Question all your media, left, right and middle. Expose yourself to as many news sources as you can and always look for hard facts in your news reports. Don't just accept vague assertions that aren't backed up and if a news network is privately owned, question the possibility of the stations interests being incorporated into or compromised by certain slants on stories.

Keep what America's supposed to be about alive. Freedom... freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom to question your leaders. Viva la revolucion!

Would you question the news if the news agency was government owned?
